    Soo Line 4-8-2 locomotive #4012 meets a passenger train on which the guy who snapped this shot was hanging out the window.

    Russell, are you going to tell us more about all these different classes of steamers on the Soo, Mopac and the others? :confused:

    I just pass on what little info I find on the image. I like scrounging around on the net looking for them.

    Oh how I wish that we could see these sights again. Which has me wondering- What's the status of Soo 2719? Will it be running again soon?

    :D

    Way late to this party but......4012 is a Light Mountain (N-20s on the Soo). I believe the Soo had 20 (4000-4020) of them, the last four of them were specifically assigned to the Wisconsin Central, and had WC stenciled on the cab.
